Abstract

Introduction: Dentin hypersensitivity is a frequent occurrence in dental practice. It is clinically characterized by acute, short, and temporary pain in response to mechanical, chemical, thermal, or osmotic stimuli resulting from dentin exposure. Objective: To compare in vivo the effect of an experimental crystalline bioactive material and nanostructured desensitizing on the pain assessment among patients with cervical dentin hypersensitivity. Material and method: Thirty patients were selected for this study, who were randomly assigned to two groups (n=15) in a split-mouth design. Each patient received two treatments: group 1 (fluoride gel and bioactive material) and group 2 (fluoride gel and nanostructured desensitizing). Pain analyses were performed using a visual analogue scale, ranging 0-10. Baseline pain measurement was performed prior to initial treatment (T0 ) and new measurements were carried out weekly for 3 weeks (T1 , T2 , and T3 ) before materials were reapplied. Final pain analysis was performed 3 months after initial treatment (T4 ). Degree of pain reduction was calculated using the formula T0 - Tperiod after treatment. The data of the pain measurements were analyzed using 2-way repeated measure ANOVA and Tukey’s test (α=0.05). Result: Regardless of evaluation period, there was no statistical difference on pain reduction between the treatments (p>0.05). The degree of pain was reduced significantly in each evaluated period for all tested treatments (p<0.05), by approximately three degrees after 3 months. Conclusion: The tested desensitizing materials were effective on dentin hypersensitivity reduction.

Resumo

Introdução: A hipersensibilidade dentinária é uma ocorrência frequente na prática clínica; clinicamente caracterizada por dor aguda, curta e temporária, em resposta ao estímulo mecânico, químico, térmico ou osmótico causada pela exposição dentinária. Objetivo: Comparar in vivo o efeito de um material bioativo cristalino experimental e um dessensibilizante nanoestruturado na avaliação da dor de pacientes com hipersensibilidade dentinária cervical. Material e método: Trinta pacientes foram selecionados para este estudo, que foram randomicamente divididos em dois grupos (n=15) em um desenho experimental de boca dividida. Cada paciente recebeu dois tratamentos: grupo 1 (flúor gel e material bioativo) e grupo 2 (flúor gel e dessensibilizante nanoestruturado). As análises de dor foram realizadas usando uma escala visual analógica, variando de 0-10. A mensuração da dor inicial foi realizada previamente ao tratamento inicial (T0 ) e novas análises foram realizadas semanalmente durante 3 semanas (T1 , T2 e T3 ) antes da reaplicação dos materiais. A análise final da dor foi realizada 3 meses após o início do tratamento (T4 ). O grau de redução de dor foi mensurado pela fórmula: T0 - Tperíodo após tratamento. Os dados das mensurações de dor foram analisados pela ANOVA para medidas repetidas 2 critérios e teste de Tukey (α=0,05). Resultado: Independente do período de avaliação, não houve diferença estatística entre todos os tratamentos na redução da dor (p>0,05). O grau de dor reduziu significativamente em cada período avaliado para todos os tratamentos testados (p<0,05), aproximadamente três graus após 3 meses. Conclusão: Os materiais dessensibilizantes testados foram efetivos na redução da hipersensibilidade dentinária.
